Ok, I know this is not a very car issue, but hoping someone can help me here.

I've sorta recently moved to the suburb of Fisher and just got my phopne line connected.

Telstra told me that they could supply ADSL2 from the Weston Creek Exchange.

Now being as expensive as Bigpond is I've been trying to find another ADSL2 provider with not much luck at all.

(all said no, except for Exetel which said they don't have any ports left and need to wait for someone to cancel their account first)

so 2 questions,

1) anyone out in Weston Creek Exchange with ADSL2 and if so, who with?

2) if no ADSL2, who do you guys go with for normal ADSL?

Cheers

Michael

Thanks, but already have and even did a search on 'Weston' and there wasn't much.

Also did a search on what providers were available for my number, but just want to see what people around the area think and have.

cheers

Try this.

To be honest, I'm an Internode man - despite the recent price rise. You get what you pay for, and with internode you get outstanding quality of service and quite possibly the best Call Centre system in the universe (you leave them a message and they call you back corresponding to your point in the queue).

Failing internode, probably westnet.

That said, in Canberra, I found that using TransACT 2mb/512 link via Velocity Internet was the best fit for me.

'Node for the win man.

I'm in Bonython and there's no ADSL2 here either =(

Thanks guys for the info. Went with IInet transit plan in the end after ringing around with no luck with ADSL2.

just hope it all works.

Good luck with that.

;)

iinet have been less than spectacular of late (like the last few years).

Damn, after all the efforts, I got rejected from over 8 ISPs. Looks like since I'm 4kms from the Weston Creek exchange no one can supply me with ADSL1 or ADSL2. pissing me off alittle since they all say they can supply it, but when they try to connect they can't.

I'll have to go for Cable either via Telstra or Transact. Even Optus doesn't supply Cable there.

Life is sucking alot at the moment, no Net, no GTR, no spare time, Grrrrrr.

Hope no one else out there has as much problem as me.

The house i just bought in Curtin is able to get ADSL 2 which makes me a very happy kid :thumbsup:

I have lost it multiple times at various ISP's over the fact that the suburb i am currently in is surrounded by suburbs which have ADSL 2+ but no not mine dslkjgsdjlkgfsld

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
